Directed by Mark Byers and written by Daniel Yost (whose next movie was Drugstore Cowboy), Criminal Act is also known as Tunnels. It has what I refer to as a Sam cast: Catherine Bach, John Saxon, Luis Avalos from The Electric Company and Vic Tayback are the best known members.
Pam Weiss (Bach) and Sharon Fields (Charles Dallas) are an investigative reporter and her photographer. Their boss, Herb Tamplin (Saxon), wants them to settle down and learn how to be good reporters. They're willing to instead run right at danger and both be the love interest of Ron Bellard (Nicolas Guest), the brother of the movie's villain Lance Bellard (Victor Brandt).
This is also supposed to have giant mutant rats and be kind of like C. H. U. D. but instead only has a homeless guy who occasionally bites someones. Yes, the millionaire evil brother is cleaning the homeless up by sending them out of the city which is totally illegal.
That said, Rick Zumwalt - Bull Hurley from Over the Top - is in this and I can't fault a movie that has both him and Daisy Duke in it, much less John Saxon. Vic Tayback's role is so small it had to be him stopping at catering and walking on to pay for the craft services he quaffed down.
Not the movie I was hoping for but what can you do?
